I buy only the veggies I will consume, so that they don’t spoil, thus not wasting them. It’s actually hard to do, since it involves planning ahead. I live alone, so a single eggplant is more than I would eat in a week if I want to keep variety in my meals.

Rice and beans are a staple food for me (I’m Puerto Rican), so that helps me a lot. Rice and beans are super cheap.

Another tip that I’ve found to be good is to buy bulk of vegetables that can be frozen. Keep those for cooking and use the fresh ones for, well, eating fresh.
